You would have a simulated body, simulated environment.

It hurts my brain to think about that. Simulating the brain is one idea, adding the body on too is levels of complexity I can't fathom. Biologists struggle writing 128 page documents just to characterize a single molecule, so they can construct a 5-6 part nano-vehicle.

The hubris of this idea is just so far off the charts I can't even call it wrong or insane. It's in the "FTL" bucket for me.
